Project Focus Continued from page 46 The River Street Tower development features Proteus GL 5mm glass panels with an RAL 5004 Dark-Blue finish. “The panels were chosen as the darkblue finish dances in the natural light” bedrooms and apartments as well as resident amenity space. It also features state-of-the-art onsite amenities such as a cinema room, private dining area, gym and gaming zone. development, the glass panels also provide a sleek contrast against Corten weathered steel rainscreen cladding which features on the external facing elevations of the connecting ten and five storey structures. These steel alloy panels, which form a rust-like appearance over time, were chosen to provide a contextual connection with the copper shades featured on other buildings in the surrounding area. Proteus Facades also fabricated Proteus SC 3mm aluminium profiled panels in a matching RAL 5004 Dark-Blue gloss finish for installation alongside the building’s windows. These panels incorporate hidden vents that provide a clever design-led way of improving air circulation within the building but without interrupting the quality aesthetics of the external façade. Eye-catching surface The combination of matching dark-blue metal and glass cladding creates a layered, reflective sequence of surfaces that has been known to catch the eye of passers-by, who stop to admire the playful finish of the building’s surface. This blue, reflective finish also helps the building to blend in with the skyline too, reducing the monolithic appearance of the tower. River Street Tower comprises of 791 student bed spaces that includes a mix of studios, cluster Illuminating choice At ground level, where the student amenity spaces and associated plant and back of house spaces reside, Proteus HR natural anodised aluminium cladding panels feature on the base of the building forming an external inset wall and soffit. These panels were chosen to illuminate the walk-way leading onto the courtyards and offstreet entrances, and provide a lighter finish against the dark blue façade. Installed by Alumet, each Proteus GL, SC and HR cladding panel is fixed to the Tower using a unique system of aluminium carriers and ancillary components, also manufactured by Proteus Facades. The system can be installed on to any type of wall construction and enables the panels to be easily hooked in place. This useful feature also means that individual panels can be removed to allow access for service and maintenance if ever required once the development is complete. Proteus Facades’ innovative rainscreen cladding panels utilise an extensive range of materials such as Aluminium, Glass, Copper, Bronze, Brass, Stainless Steel, Zinc and Porcelain Ceramic. Each system is manufactured to internationally recognised quality standards, using the highest quality materials, in accordance with its BSI ISO accredited Business Management System for Quality, Environmental and Health & Safety.
